Ev^ry day more and more things
happen to impress upon us the need
of an adequate amount of food. The
food that an individual eats affects
his health, strength, nervous condi
tion, morale and mental functions.
It is of paramount importance to the
normal growth, development and
health of children. To neglect this
aspect of defense is as hazardous as
to neglect military preparedness and
yet every day we meet up with people
with tears in their voices and who
are ready to wring their hands but
have not planted a garden. The
trouble with many of us is that we
dispise small things (such as plant
ing a garden) and are not willing to
do the things that we can do.
Let’s be up and doing—there is a
job for all, both young and old—
plant food—varieties of food—and
use it. Remember that nearly half
of our boys were found deficient, so
that means that we at home have not
had what we should either. Let’s get
ready for any and every emergency
—do not put off until tomorrow what
you can do now—act today.
At Christmas time we are apt to
eat too many rich foods and as a re-

I T. Roy Summer
Washington, Dec. 11.—Despite a
valiant fight by South Carolina’s
senators and congressmen to bring
about legislation providing outright
grants to drouth-stricken farmers,
indications are the Smith-Fufmer
bill, authorizing approximately $66,-
000,000 to finance such a program,
will never reach the house floor.
The legislation’s doom was appar
ently sealed today when Rules Com
mittee Chairman Adolph Sabath of
Illinois declined to submit to his
fellow members a proposal that a
rule be granted permitting consid
eration by the house. His decision
followed appearance before the com
mittee of the Palmetto state’s con
gressmen, who, with Representative
Hampton P. Fulmer, chairman of the
house agriculture committee, as
spokesman, requested rules commit
tee action on the measure, previously
reported by the Fulmer committee.
Mr. Sabath’s refusal to permit ac
tion by his committee was not be
cause of any desire on his part to
kill the bill. It was rather due to a
feeling that a vote by his committee
would be unfavorable. Obviously
he knew his position was well taken,
for majorities in both the rules com
mittee and the house apparently feel
that the Smith-Fulmer bill is not the
proper manner in which to handle re
lief to farmers suffering from crop
failures.
Provide Federal Grants
As finally reported by both the
bouse and senate agricultural com
mittees, the legislation would pro
vide federal grants to cotton farmers
whose production was less than 60
per cent of normal during the 1941
season. Such payments would amount
to the difference between actual
1941 yield and a 60 per cent crop,
multiplied by the parity price, set
at about sixteen cents per pound.
Rules committee bearings today
revealed that some members of the
house agriculture committee who
voted with Representative Fulmer
■ to report the relief measure did so
i more in a desire to follow their
, chairman than because of personal
beliefs that the legislation is the
proper method of handling the prob
lem. Most of those included in the
opnosition to the bill believe that the
onoblem is strictly one of relief and
should be handled by existing relief
agencies.
They point out that the farm se
curity administration recently re
sponded to the request of Senator
Burnet R. Maybank and the congres
sional delegation and earmarked $1,-
125.000 for grants to approximately
25,000 farm families facing destitu
tion because of 1941 crop failures.
Liberal Loans Offered
Admitting that the FSA will not
reach farmers in the landlord class
they further cite that Governor A.
G. Black, of the farm credit admin
istration, has notified all federal
farm credit agencies in South Caro-
Kna, including production credit as
sociations, seen loan offices, banks
for cooperatives and federal land
hanks, that a liberal policy has been
adopted toward loan payments and
concerning new loans, and that
farmers, with good credit records
who demonstrate the proper attitude
should be shown every possible con
sideration in working out their prob
lems.
Senator Smith, who heads the Ag
riculture committee, of the upper
body, found sentiment in the sen
ate on par with that in the house
when he attempted earlier in the
week to bring the measure up for
consideration. Senator Charles L.
McNary, of Oregon, Republican floor
leader, raised objection and the bill
was returned to the committee,
where Senator Smith hopes to revise
it to meet the minority leader’s ob
jections.
On a voice vote concerning Imme
diate consideration of the measure,
only three—Senators Smith, May-
bank, and Elmer Thomas, of Okla
homa—voted in favor of quick action.
Barnwell Representative Seeks Job
On S. C. Public Service Commission
Barnwell Man is in Race for S.
Public Service Commission
Representative Winchester Smith,
chairman of the house’s ways and
means committee is a candidate for
the South Carolina Public Service
commission.
Mr. Smith, has telegraphed vari-
our lawmakers, to teli them of his
candidacy. The incumbent, John B.
McMillan of Ulmers, is offering for
reelect ion.
Barnwell is scheduled to lose one
of its two house members, as result
of the reapportionment due in 1942
on the basis of the 1940 census.
Since Mr. Smith is chairman of the
house’s most important committee
and the other Barnwell representa
tive, Sol Blatt, is speaker of the
house, the question of what happens
to the Barnwell member who leaves
the house is one of statewide interest.
The election will be by the 1942
general assembly.
Fort Bragg, N. C., Dec. 13. — El
don W. Pidgen, Jr., who tried hard
to be a good soldier—and who suc
ceeded until army officials discover
ed his real age—tonight began his
last week-end as a member of Uncle
Sam’s army at Fort Bragg.
For, although Pidgen performed all
of his duties to the complete satisfac
tion of superiors, and while his par
ents have no objection to his con
tinued service in the army, regula
tions . must be observed, officials said.
So, young Pidgen—who by the
way is only fourteen years old—will
be given an honorable dscharge at
ceremonies next Tuesday.
Despite his lack of years, Eldon
succeeded at being “a good soldier”
through nine weeks of training at
Camp Bkmdlng, Fla., and in the
tough daily grind 1 in the Carolina
maneuver area. It was when an
appendectomy became necessary,
however, that authorities discovered
his tender age.
Said Eldon’s father, in Waycross,
Ga., w^-ere the boy enlisted:
“He did so want to serve in the
army. And tiis mother and I ap
proved his enlistment, and now that
there is a war, we particularly hop
ed he would be able to continue to
serve his country.”
Well, officala said, Eldon will prob
ably have a chance to serve his coun
try as a civilian, but be can’t be al
lowed to see military service yet for
some years.
In fact, officials agreed, young
Eldon has already served his coun
try—and served well—by setting an
example in patriotism which others,
and older youth might follow.
